The Troubles

[Otern]

So, how did it end?

Seems like there's no more Trouble going on, so exactly how did Britain, Ireland and IRA manage to stop it?

9/11
No one wanted to be a terrorist after that.

But it's not like the Brits were playing nice before that? Don't think 9/11 played a big role in this conflict at all.

Did all the old IRA-guys just die of old age?

How old are you? After 9/11 “Republicans” came to the table.

Was pretty young at 9/11, so probably missed all of that.

9/11 transformed The West’s view of terrorism to something much darker. Racism against Arabs played a big part of that. In fact, real racism against Arabs started on that day. Israel was estatic everyone would be on their side now.

Americans were certainly less keen to bankroll terrorist organisations after that but seeing as the good Friday accord was 2 years earlier than 9/11 we can dismiss your ''day that changed the world'' scenario on this occasion.
A concerted effort by first John Major and later Tony Blair was responsible for the ''end'' of the troubles. When a state has mature leaders willing to negotiate and compromise like fully grown adults all kinds of seeminly intractable situations can be resolved. Electing a tantrum loving man child is less likely to acheive such end results.
Basically it was ''ended'' by a lot of hard work over several parliaments, a cross party willingness to work together and a real fatigue for violence and the senseless muder and maiming of innocents on both sides of the divide.

If by commies you mean Catholic nationalist extremists and by gay you mean less inclined to murder men, women and children then you are 100% correct.

Leftist drivel. Your hatred of Trump colors every conversation.
